Description

It started in the small state of New Hampshire. One of the first known records of a technical climb being done in the United States was in Huntington Ravine on the intimidating slopes of Mt. Washington, New Hampshire in 1910. From that day forth we have seen climbing evolve from using basic gear and clothing not designed specifically for the activity to witnessing more difficult and bold ascents throughout the world. The gear has become more specialized, sophisticated, stronger, and lighter.

The climbers have too and the spirit of adventure lives on. Evolution Rock + Fitness is the conduit between this rich history and the future of climbing.

The International Olympic Committee will determine if the sport will be accepted into the 2020 Olympic Games in late 2013. The buzz is out. Collegiate teams are being formed around the country. Youth clubs and teams are popping up everywhere. To prepare for this Evolution Rock + Fitness is building a state-of-the-art facility in the state where it all began. We are raising the bar on the standards of what makes a climbing gym experience great by taking the best components of what we have seen in some of the best gyms around the world. By doing this we will provide the framework for future climbers of all levels and abilities to push their limits.

Join us in this exciting journey. Evolve yourself and find YOUR Route!

Getting There

FROM THE SOUTH + WEST + NORTHWEST

I-93 North to Exit 12N (second exit past the intersection of I-89 and I-93). Go a little over a 1/2 mile up 3A (South Main St). Our road is on the right across from S&W Sports.

FROM THE NORTH + EAST

I-93 South to Exit 13 - US 3N towards downtown. Take a right at the light. Turn left onto South Main St. at the next light by McDonalds. Go about 1/2 mile and we are on your left just before S&W Sports.

This is a great gym, really good walls, an excellent, well built facility and Hilary seems to have collected a bunch of good people to work with her. I set a few routes on a weekend before it was open and was impressed by the place. I am looking forward to getting back on the "official opening day". I just wish it wasn't two states away for me - another reason to get my butt moved up to NH!
